Hardly the Man For the Place.

Dakota Bell: A man named Cory
has been appointed commissioner for
Dakota to the American exposition in
London, and has left for that place. He
goes alone and there is a good prospect
that he will be lost in the shuttle. If
he had taken along few cowboys, a
foundered buffalo and half a dozen
rheumatic Indians it would have been
different, and he would have been diff
ferent. Or it would have been better
still had Sitting Bull been appointed
commissioner. His name would have
readily carried him through, and Dako-
ia would have had the share of public
attention in London that she deserves.
And too, Mr.. Bull is perhaps the oldest
resident of the territory, and it is about
time he got something besides an oc-
casional bite of agency dead horse or a
passing mouthful of dog-tail soup.

Pierre is awakening to the import
ance of making another effort for the
opening of the Sioux reservation at the
next session of congress. The people
are organizing, and will ask that con-
vention composed of representative of
Pierre, Chamberlain, Rapid City, Dead
wood and other points interested be,
held in Minneapolis OF st. Paul in Au-
gust for the purpose of formulating
plans for general movement to secure
the passage of a satisfactory bill. 1t is
said that Governor Church has inter
ested himself heartily in the opening Of
the reservation. 1t is to be hoped that
he may be influential in opening the
eyes Of the president, the interior de-
partment and congress to the desirable
ity of throwing open at least a portion
of this great tract to settlement.

Press, s.: Damon Division band has
decided to disband and the instruments
are for sale. The members of the organ
ization feel they have been dealt with
unjustly as they have worked hard to
bring their music to state excellence
that will compare with other towns,
and and the roasting that has been Civ
EN- them since the Fourth of July cele-
bratiOn has not been much of an en-
couragement when it is considered
they have not received their money for
the days services. The Press is sorry
to learn that the city will be without a
band, as this makes the second one that
has gone to pieces within the past three
years, but the others busted for other
reasons. A band can be sustained here
such thing has been done and that
handsomely, too, but of late years the
organizations have been unfortunate.

GUY CARLETON ON GAME.
Some Suggestions for the Rod and Gun

Some Suggestions for the Rod and Gun
Clubs Forthcoming Work.
The two largest varieties of game to be
found in North America are table stakes and
the grizzly bear. Both are easily obtained,
but would advise inexperienced persons to
begin carefully on the bear, and gradually
work up to the table stakes.
The grizzly bear does not rise readily to the
fly. He is sometimes taken with live bait in
the early spring, but is in inferior condition.
In December he retires to the depths of q
cave, wherein he spends the winter, and,
although the game law is silent on this point,
it is considered by true sportsmen cruel to
follow the grizzly bear into a cave
It is great sport to pursue a large bear with
fierce energy, occasionally stopping to rest
when the trail gets too fresh. I once followed
a bear four miles. Ithen sat down to lunch
con, full of sportsman's grim joy, for I
thought the bear was not more or less than
six miles ahead. Suddenly heard snort
Of surprise, and, turning, saw the bear and
snorted. cannot express the gladness felt.
1t was beautiful scene. The broad sun
laughed from the infinite blue; the birds
sang, and all nature, including the bear, wore
o tranquil smile. I climbed tree hard by
to enjoy the view, and the bear came for
ward in a light hearted way, and my spirits
rose as he sat down with the air of one who
expected to camp out for q week

Our Band on the Fourth.

Lennox independent: Everything
passed off without hitch or jangle.
Quiet and order reigned supreme. Be-
fore we close we would not forget the
famous I'd Regiment Band, the pride
of Canton, the best lot of leather that
the Creator ever put breath into, with
an indefatigable manager, set of in
struments that are above comparison
with anything in the territory. Didn't
they do well in their incompatible,
harmonious musical executions? For
large hearts and clear tones the I'd
Regiment band will ever be noted.

In the great northwest, in Lincoln
county and Canton, the prohibition
question is being agitated to a certain
extent. Take it at home. the question
arises whether OF not what prohibition
has prevailed has benefited our city.
Did the prohibiting of the sale of intox-
icating beverages build Sioux City?
Is Sioux Falls prohibition city?
And where in the west are there two
more promising towns? Sioux City,
after years Of prosperity and growth
and during this era of improvements
everybody were wild over the rapid ad
vancement- have signs out that it
is a Prohibition city. And what is the
result? Saloons, dives, beer gardens
and gambling houses run in full blast.
Whisky and beer flow as free as ever
The business man who minds his own
business and prospers, well knows that
it is for his interest to keep mum on
this liquor question. The majority of
the prOhibitiOnists Of today did not al
ways raise hue and cry oyer the waste
and tlickering-out OF human souls, caus-
ed by dissipation. After they have
boarded up their wealth, >made midst
flowing beer and ribald men-after they
have received with smiles the needy
money they prize so much, from the
shreWd business man, who is silent on
the prohibition question do they
turn around and cry, "Ruin! ruin! stares
everybody in the face
There is not a person on the face of
the globe but has a right to express an
opinion, and that opinion may be
priced highly; but has one man the
right to dictate what his neighbor shall
eat and drink? For thousands of years
black devils have existed. They exist
today. If they did not drink, the eat
ing of opium, visiting of brothels or the
horrible indulgence in some hellish de-
sire would come next in order IT the
devil is born in man or woman, how
is it going to vanish? If person can't
resist the temptation of becoming sOt
or degraded wretch without the prop
ping of clean, wholesome human be-
ings, let him get off the world. He
was born for evil, and succeeded.
There are business men right here in
the city Of Canton who are becoming
diSpuStpd over the nrOhibitiOD yyranUla
now raging, and have expressed de-
sire to move elsewhere Who are the
builders of Canton? Who is it that
devotes more time to the upbuilding of
our city than any other important
work? Is it the prohibition worker?
We should say not. We will admit that
prohibition workers are laboring for
what they think is christian cause,
and few of the workers are as good
citizens as breathe Dakota air; but the
wrangle that always ensues is a detri-
ment to the rapid advancement of a
western town. There are certain
class, dear reader, who have drank, do
drink and always will drink so long as
there is corn and rye grown to make
whisky, and barley for beer. The hui
man race is failure if a person can't
pass a place of resort, with sign out
side Of big frothy beer, without rush
ing in and debarring himself from de-
cent society.

The late Henry Hackfeld. who died at
Bremen, October Goth, was born near
Dalmenhorst, In Oldenburg, in the year
1915, and was consequently about 70
years of age at the time of his death
Mr.. Widelnann, who has kindly .furn-
ished the following, made the acquaint-
ance of Henry Hackfeld in 1910, on
board the Bremen brig Express, on
which vessel they were both engaged.
In the year 1841 Henry Hackfeld be-
came master and part owner of the brig.
He made several voyages in the Pacific
in her until 1845, when the vessel was
lost oR the China coast. In I847 he
chartered the schooner Wilhelmine
formerly the British ketch Basilisk)
and having purchased an assorted cargo
at Hamburg, prepared to sail for Homo
lulu. In 1848 he married Mary Phuger,
bringing her and George and j. G..
Phuger to Honolulu in the schooner.
The vessel was under command of Capt.
Schriever 1.-THE late well-known ranch
owner in Nuuanu Valley, who brought
the schooner into this harbor in the year
1849. Captain Henry Hackfeld placed
his cargo in a wooden building OH Queen
street (replaced by the brick buildings
now occupied by John Thomas Water
house,, where he opened store under
the firm name of III. Hackfeld & Co., the

ish and Norwegian Consul here. In
1852 he returned to Hamburg, and after
wards to Bremen, where he settled and
managed the business of H Hackfeld &
Co. there until 1886, when he retired
from the firm. Among the persons who
sailed with Henry Hackfeld on the brig
Express was Mr.. B. F. Ehlers, nephew
OF MIR. Hackfeld and founder of the firm
of Ehlers & Co., Fort street. Henry
Hackfeld leaves no Children, but many
nephews and nieces The heir of
his name and business is his nephew,
Mr.. John F Hackfeld, who was with the
venerable gentleman in Bremen during
his last moments. Henry Hackfeld was
noted for his business tact, his willing
ness to help the deserving, and for his
integrity His departure from this
/ world occasions many mourners, princi-
pally Mrs. HackfeId, John F. Hackfeld,

dren Of the late j. G. Pfuger.
The news of his death came by the
Mariposa Friday, and on Saturday the
house Of Il Hackfeld & Co. was draped
in mourning and their flag half-masted;

THE IMMIGRATION REPORT.

In Mondays Bulletin" Mr.. A. Mar
ques, editor of the Portuguese paper go
Luso Hawaiiano," has a long letter, in
which he finds much fault with the re-
port of the Inspector General of Immi-
migrants published in this paper few
weeks ago. Mr.. Marques finds some
statements in the report respecting the
Portuguese, which are so incorrect that
he feels called upon to contradict them,
and does SO.
The Inspector General replied to Mr..
Marques last evening, and states that,
not being infallible, he may have made
some mistakes in not correctly under
standing the answers made to his ques-
tions, yet he did not believe he had
made any mistake that would materially
change his figures. He is friendly dis
posed towards Portuguese. However,
there is one thing, the Inspector Gen
eral has not denied any of Mr.. Marques
statements.

them away to the last Swedish man-of-
war which was at this port. He was
Knight Commander of the Royal Order
of Kamehameha [ and Knight Com
panion of the Royal Order of Kalakaua.
Early this year the King of Sweden and
Norway conferred upon him the Order of
the North Star in recognition of his lit
brought to him direct from King Oscar
by Mr.. III. w. Schmidt, Consul for
Sweden and Norway.
The late Judge was held in high es-
TEEN by King Oscar. He was presented
with the Linnean Medal from the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences; held a
diploma from the Astrological and Geo
graphical Society of Stockholm, and was
corresponding member of the Cali
fornia Academy of Sciences since Janu-
airy, 1879.

a member of Excelsior Lodge No. l, In
dependent Order Of Odd Fellows, Poly
nesian Encampment No. /, l. o. .. F.,
and Kamehameha Lodge of Perfection
No. /, A. and A. S. 4.
His three volumes of ''The Polynesian
Race" which were published in Lon
don, are invaluable. During the session
Of the last Legislature the sum of 81, 500
was appropriated towards the expenses
of the work. The committee who had
referred to them the resolution asking
for the appropriation stated in their re-
port that ''The Polynesian Race" of
which Mr.. Fernandez was author, was
work to which he had devoted many
years of careful study and research, and
which had been highly commended
by competent critics at home and
abroad 1t was the most learned work
ever written here, and was a credit to
the author, to his adopted country and
to the Hawaiian people.
The Supreme Court will be closed to-
day out of respect to the deceased JUS
tice The funeral takes place this after
noon at o'clock from his late residence,
Beretania street. The Rev. Alexander
